Mapping Windows Colour Scheme as a colour inMacromedia Flash

> Mark> We are experimenting with wanting to change the background colour of our> flash interface to the windows colour scheme.

Since flash allows CSS support and you may specify these colors in CSS. you
may
try one of these color codes. Known to work in IE and Firefox browsers. Not
sure
if it works within Flash. Do let me know if works for you. I'd be
interested.
I've used these for table cells combined with hover to get button look and
feel.

Hi,

The changes to OS color scheme in windows are stored in the registry. You
need
look in there to identify the colors. Mine is something like this. Browser
might
check here to identify the colors every time you load the page.

Hey Abhishek,

I'm the guy who designed and built the Flex Style Explorer here at
Macromedia. I'm not sure I understood the question, but basically in
actionscript for flex there is a function called setStyle() ... And all of
the components have editable values (including the colorpicker) ... So to
set the style of a window if flex, we can really set it to any style
imaginable with a command that looks something like this:

MyWindow.setStyle('backgroundColor', myColorPicker.selectedColor); //(this
would set the background color to the user's selected color)...
